Farmers have had some decent harvest weather as they work on the harvest, with a few occasional showers moving through.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is expected to reiterate her policy demands face-to-face with Prime Minister Mark Carney Wednesday while he's in Edmonton to meet with his Liberal caucus.

Smith, on her weekend call-in radio show, says she's looking for "real movement" on nine federal policies she says have "pummeled" Alberta's economy and wellspring oil and gas industry.

Her wish list includes scrapping the greenhouse gas emissions cap and re-writing Bill C-69, long labelled the "no more pipelines act" by her government.

Two areas of construction are taking place in Carseland and Chestermere. 

Wheatland County has notified Carseland residents of a temporary pause in water service on Tuesday (Sept. 9) as crews work to replace a fire hydrant located near Lausen Place.

Water service will resume once the repairs are complete. The county thanked residents for their patience during the disruption. 

In Chestermere, construction crews will be repainting the road lines along Marina Drive on Sept. 9.

Children's snuggly little stuffed animals came to life for a chance to entertain the kids who love them.

Debbie Mitzner and Nicole Denee hosted their annual Teddy Bear Picnic at Kinsmen Park on Sept. 6. 

Life-sized teddy bears played cornhole with children, danced, and high-fived families. The event also featured a small market and a teddy bear repair station. 

Children enjoyed music and played a game of Hot Potato, passing around a teddy bear.

Norman is a 2.5 year old Pitbull terrier.

Neutered, vaccinated and so sweet.

He is needing a home with no dogs and seeking an urgent foster care home. Foster parents would need to commit to some training to help support him and yourself to make Norman the best he can be!

He is available for adoption, however he will be on a training program that you will need to commit to. Norman is reactive to dogs, and will need a family to give him safety, support and be willing to give him a safe home to work slowly through his new training program.

Long-time training and dedication have paid off for competitive barrel racer Jayden Wilson and her horse, Whisky.

Wilson, from a farm near Gleichen, and her eight-year-old gelding had a standout 2025 rodeo season, earning top honours and major recognition on the circuit. 

"It's probably the best year, the best season I've had," Wilson said. "Just all of it has been surreal." 

Raised in rodeo culture, Wilson started riding at a young age and bought her first competitive rodeo card when she was just eight.
